[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The invention relates to a process for producing polycrystalline silicon.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] Polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) is predominantly deposited on thin rods from halosilanes such as trichlorosilane by means of the Siemens process, which gives polycrystalline silicon rods, which are then comminuted into polycrystalline silicon chunks. After the comminution into chunks, it is customary to classify these into particular size classes. After sorting and classification, the chunks are dosed to a particular weight and packed in a plastic bag. A corresponding method for sorting, clas...
